CareerFoundry

I am learning so much on a daily basis with CareerFoundry's UX Design Course. CareerFoundry has one of the best courses online and their tutor and mentorship model has helped me a great deal in understanding the UX Industry and the skills needed to not just enter the domain, but excel at it. I would definitely recommend it to someone who is looking for a domain change. The job assistance is the cherry on top! Read less

I’m very happy and satisfied with the CareerFoundry UX Bootcamp. The support and feedback from the Tutor and Mentor are what keeps me motivated, energized and confident about the skill I’m learning. The curriculum is very thorough and easy to understand. Things are explained well and the hands-on learning approach is, in my opinion, the best. The lectures are 30-45 minutes long and the exercises truly provide a foolproof way to understand if you learned what you studied. The CareerFoundry staff is responsive and helpful and never makes you feel alone. The community on Slack is also a great presence and an easy way to find participants for your projects in an easy way. I would definitely recommend the course and CareerFoundry to my peers.  Read less

I have a great tutor and mentor who have been super supportive, and I feel like I'm learning a lot. I was looking for a course with great UX and UI—CareerFoundry practices what it teaches. I'm looking forward to the job placement support when I get to that point in the course. Read less

I am currently enrolled in a data analytics course and I am thoroughly enjoying it! The course is well-structured and the content is presented in a clear and organized manner. The Tutors and Mentors knowledgeable and engaging, and they are always willing to answer questions and provide additional support. The course covers a wide range of topics, from data cleaning and visualization to statistical analysis and machine learning, and I feel like I am gaining a deep understanding of each of these areas. The hands-on assignments and projects are particularly helpful in reinforcing the concepts covered in class, and I appreciate the opportunity to work with real-world data. Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in developing their data analytics skills!

Initially I enrolled to improve my data analytical skills particularly in SQL, Tableau, and Python, but fortunately I got the opportunity to learn a lot more than that. I appreciate having an assigned tutor, mentor, and career specialist to ask questions and get personalized responses in a timely manner (within 8-16 hours). All three were detailed in their feedback on my assignments, and gave me useful tips for improvement in the future. I also appreciated that they're practitioners in the field, so I got a "real-world" perspective as it related to the fundamentals we were learning throughout the lessons. The lessons were broken down in a clear and easy-to-follow manner, so it's definitely doable for beginners and those who looking for a career change. Though there were definitely some challenging lessons for sure, they were never unreasonable for a student. While I'm not currently looking for a career change, I'm still participating in the job preparation portion of the course as it provides great tips and tools I may be able to use in the future. I particularly found the elevator pitch and resume building lessons beneficial as it helped me reframe how I present myself both verbally and on paper.  Read less

I learned about this program when my job was on the line and I was being pushed to go back to college for a Bachelor degree. As there wasn’t a degree option relevant to my job, I pitched the Digital Marketing program at Career Foundry which I’d found while doing extensive research. It had great reviews and I had a phenomenal experience with my Admissions rep. Learning about career guarantee, the specialization, and the ability to have access to other courses made it even better. The company didn’t support the idea so I was let go and I immediately enrolled in the UX Design program. I’ve been in it for 2.5 months now and have absolutely no regrets. I have a great tutor and knowledgeable mentor and am impressed all around.  Read less

At present, I'm pursuing the UX Design Course and have completed one-third of the second segment. This marks a complete transition in my career, and I found the Intro to UX (the initial milestone) to be an excellent primer on the topic, with no overwhelming or unattainable aspects. It has equipped me with all the necessary tools to navigate the remainder of the course.
My tutor and mentor have been invaluable in my journey, always available to assist or answer any queries. Furthermore, they inspire me and instill confidence in my abilities and ideas.

I'm eagerly anticipating my graduation in a few months. Read less

I spent a lot of time reviewing different bootcamps to take for UX design, and CareerFoundry stood out to me as the best. Their pricing is fair, and the lessons are good. I love getting to learn by doing, and CareerFoundry does a great job of setting up each lesson with a practice assignment at the end. I also love that I have a personal tutor, and a mentor that I get to meet with once a week for advice and guidance. I could not recommend CareerFoundry enough. I have had a great experience with them! Read less

CareerFoundry has simply shattered my expectations for an online career change program.

I’ve been through many online programs and have worked in the online education/career change space, and I can confidently say CareerFoundry has the art of online career changing down to a science.

The UX Immersion Program is easy to follow, super-intensive, and full of one-on-one support.

Most online programs do not provide one-on-one mentorship and tutoring guidance which I would say is CareerFoundry’s biggest strength.

I don’t know where I would be without my Tutor and Mentor and I’m excited to continue my journey to becoming a true UX Designer. Read less

I started my CF program in UI Design on January, 2022 and finished it on January, 2023 so it took me a little longer than I expected to finish but I did so with a full-time job. Before getting into the CF program I started learning progressively with youtube videos, then Coursera courses and finally CF program. This way I made sure I was making the right choice in my career change journey into Tech from Aviation. I can't stress enough how good this program is and I have a bachelors in mechanical engineering. CF gives you literally everything you need to do a career change. You will get a tutor and a mentor that are experienced (and working) in the industry and after you finished the program they provide an invaluable course on job preparation that gives you all the tools you need to find that first job. Also, you get a mentor for your job prep too. CF will give you all the tools you need to have a successful educational transition into the real world of tech but it requires the students effort to make it work. This is a 50/50 deal and it can only work if you take every suggestion and implement it. They know what they are doing but without proper student execution it wont matter. Be ready to study hard and give it your all and take every single course from the introductory ones to the job prep, it is really worth it. After I finished my course I found my first job in 6 weeks. Some context, I'm new in town, no prior industry experience, the job market at the time of this review is awful with tech companies laying off people by the thousands, and it is a 100% remote job at a great company that I like. All in all, I can't recommend CF enough as my experience was great from start to finish and it's paid off. Also, I got a better salary now as a first-time designer than at my previous career with a decade of experience. If you are sure about the new career path that you want to take, this is a great way to get to the job you ultimately want. Just remember to make that extra effort so it works. Happy Learning!

After pandemic, I decided to go back in school and take some classes for career change. I landed into CareerFoundry which is the best decision I ever made. With all the hard work and support with my advisor, it paid off as I landed to my first job as a UX/UI designer. I am grateful and appreciative that I found CareerFoundry.  Read less

As a recent university graduate who was used to online courses and wanted to dive into a new specialization, I'm having a wonderful time with this course!  The tutors, mentors, and advisors provide constant support.  Since it's generally self-paced, it works well especially to those who want to be able to learn a new skill efficiently.  I haven't received job assistance yet since I am still in the main program, but it looks promising! Read less

I started the course very perfectly and was happy learning frontend and basics. When I started the Full Stack Immersion, my first mentor couldn't help me because he didn't know what he was talking about. It seems like he didn't know anything about javascript. It took a month for him to help me with a simple issue with one of the features of a simple project. My second mentor was better, but the material was poorly updated or explained. I had to book a call with my mentor to explain some materials, and since he was super busy, it took a week or more to get help each time. After all, one of the reasons that I got this course with CareerFoundry was the job guarantee. Basically, without any experience and a related university degree, there would be no chance of getting a job, and collecting the requirements for getting a refund is a full-time job itself. I DO NOT recommend this school/Bootcamp to anyone who doesn't have related experience or degree. I applied for many jobs in many companies in the US and only got one interview in 7 months, and still no job.

Overall, it's a great class and I love my tutor and the mentor that I've been paired up with. They are super helpful and do everything they can to help you figure things out. 

My only complaint is that a lot of the course work was written in 2020, and many of the dependencies you'll be using have been updated (several times) since then, making it difficult to use some the code that they give you in the course material. You often will have to go your own way to figure out how to reach the end, instead of the way they intended you to take. That said, I feel I am better equipped to debug issues than someone who didn't have that experience, since I've had a lot more bugs than someone who took this class when the material was written.

I can't rate the Job Assistance program yet as I am still in the program and have not started looking at jobs. Read less

I am genuinely excited to review my experience with CareerFoundry so far!
Let me give a quick intro about myself. My name is Meenu and I am from India. I recently graduated with a Master's degree in Physics. During my penultimate year at university, I decided to change careers into UX design and quickly started researching short courses and bootcamps that I could afford at the time. Shortly after that, I read a medium article review of the UX design boot camp program at CareerFoundry and I was immediately hooked. I continued to research more about the program and the curriculum. Later, after comparing different boot camp programs regarding their curriculum, fee, and job opportunities after completing the program, I decided to go with CareerFoundry as it turned out to give me the most value for the fee that I am paying. Also, compared to so many other boot camps, I find the course fee at CareerFounry to be the most affordable for a 10-month program. 

Something that attracted me to choosing CareeFoundry is that they are committed to providing a human-centered experience. I have been assigned a wonderful mentor and tutor who have given me immense support and encouragement from the beginning. I enrolled in the program even before I completed my degree and because of that, I had taken some time off in between. Both my mentor and tutor were truly supportive of this and later when I started doing the course full-time, they keep providing me with the most genuine feedback on every task that I have completed so far. It has been a truly grateful experience to have such great designers who have a lot of experience in the industry. As a career changer, it has definitely helped me move forward in this journey with courage and confidence. The curriculum is one area that I would like to see improved. The curriculum, in my opinion, is more focused on theory and writing, and sometimes there seems to be a lag between tasks. Considering this is purely my personal opinion, it is possible for other people to have different opinions than mine.

Last but not least, I can't conclude this review without mentioning my Student Advisors. Everyone is truly kind and supportive. I know from my own experience that they work truly hard to solve our issues without wasting any time. I am so glad to have the amazing Student Advisors that I have to share this journey with.

I have completed the Data Analytics bootcamp and within a month I have secured a new position as data analyst!  I believe the course gives you a very solid foundation to build off of.  I would definitely suggest spending time researching on your own, and building your community on LinkedIn as there are so many people willing to teach and assist on there as well.  Career Foundry teaches you the fundamentals of how to do projects, start to finish, while executing presentations that are visually appealing.  You have a mentor and tutor to help you along the way to answer questions and meet with you.  And they have a good community on LinkedIn and Slack that are always willing to help as well. Definitely recommended! I had a few friends in analytics review a few bootcamps and they all pointed to this one for a few main reasons: 1) It establishes a portfolio that presents your final work and shows off your skills 2) you have a good community to assist and help when you have questions 3) there is a job guarantee that comes with a career specialist to help you prepare, present yourself, and interview well.

The CF Data Analytics program equips anyone without any background on the field with a good foundation to further develop their skills in Excel, Tableau, SQL and Python. The theory and exercises on each chapter build on the previous ones so you get a cohesive result at the end of each section. Individual studying beyond the scope of this course is necessary to learn more complex  applications of the abovementioned skills. My mentor and tutor have been helpful and they reply quickly when I text a question. Good experience so far. Read less
